Dreams of running water!

7:30 am we left for the 1 1/2 drive to a small community to help the locals build up the walls on their newly dug out wells. This will be the first time that this community will have water pumped through gravity lines up the steep hill by their homes. Several teams from Mexico and the US have helped provide the materials and man power to make this dream become a reality for the more than 40 families.

Our team of 12 people helped by hauling rocks, cement and block to the work site. The men did the laborious job of jauling the 125 lb. cement bags and over 80 cinder blocks down the steep hill to where the second of three wells were being worked on. The women helped by finding rocks by the river bank that would serve to build up a wall on the inside of the well.

We enjoyed lunch time where we got a taste of some good home style cooking from the locals!
